I would be happy to organize these stages. I would just like to know the exact deadlines.

Colleagues, I suggest we create the Tournament Regulations.
Also, I am very interested in the following current issues:
1. Should the starting castle in the second stage be a Knight or Barbarian castle? Well, I probably won't choose a Knight castle – it's too difficult, but I could choose a Barbarian castle. Although, I would prefer a Warlock castle – it would be more interesting and innovative. But I'll go with what you say. There's also a nuance here – you can play as a strength-based hero, for example, a Barbarian, from any castle. It's just that the map may be more suitable for playing with magic, or it may not be. In the second game, Warlocks are bought on most maps because of their speed and starting army...
In short, we decide whether stages 1-5 will start from Strength castles or not?
2. Dates and overlaps. Especially overlaps. What tournaments of Van Canningham can they overlap with? Can they overlap with each other? I want to decide on the dates for the second stage...

We already played as the Barbarian and Warlock in HoMM3 2007. I suggest Knight and Wizard for stages 2-7, respectively. HoMM3 2007 statistics: Stage 1: Knight Stage 2: Barbarian Stage 3: Rampart (Elves) Stage 4: Chaos Stage 5: Necromancer Stage 6: Sorceress Stage 7: Warlock Stage 8: Swamp Stage 9: Life Stage 10: Mage (Academy)

Added a couple of minutes later
I suggest a starting castle option for HoMM3 2008: Stage 1: Barbarian (already chosen) Stage 2: Knight Stage 3: Barbarian (Inferno Castle) Stage 4: Death (Nature) Stage 5: Dark Elves (Inferno) Stage 6: Warlock (definitely, as all others have already been used) Stage 7: Wizard (possibly Sorceress) Stage 8: Tower (Dungeon) Stage 9: Order Stage 10: Orda (Fortress) P.S. But in general, the organizer will know best which castle to choose depending on the specifics of the map for the tournament.

Deadlines and overlaps. Especially overlaps. What can the Van Cunningham tournaments overlap with? Can they overlap with each other? I want to decide on the dates for the second stage...
Regarding overlaps, I think it's unacceptable... overlapping with others is fine. Otherwise, it won't work; there are too many tournaments right now. As for the dates, we should consider March 10-12 and end on April 5-6. We need to get back on track so that subsequent stages can start on the first day of the month.

March 10th is a day off, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get online. Okay, then either March 10th or 11th will be the start date, and it would be best to finish by April 7th at 12:00 PM (so that those who access the internet from work can save and send their progress from the weekend when they arrive at work). Alex_R is basically right, but when I think about starting with unupgraded peasant archers, I feel sorry for the players... Let's discuss this further.

1. Should I choose a Knight or Barbarian castle for the starting castle in the second stage? Well, I probably won't choose a Knight castle – it's too difficult, but I can choose a Barbarian castle. Although, I would prefer a Sorceress castle – it would be more interesting and original. But I'll do as you suggest. There's another nuance here – you can play as a "power" character, for example, a Barbarian, from any castle. It's just that the map may favor a magic-based game, or it may not.
I completely agree with you; the map determines the playstyle more than the starting castle. In stages 6 and 7 of HoMM 2007, players clearly started with magic races, but they didn't use magic itself. It's just important to remember which "circle" you're playing and choose a castle and map combination accordingly, because you can significantly shift the balance towards melee combat with only one race in stages 4 and 5 if you choose Barbarians. If the map is suitable for a power-based playthrough, but a Sorceress is a good fit thematically, then, in my opinion, let it be a Sorceress, especially in the second stage, where heroes always come with troops, and therefore are themselves a source of an army.
Stage 5: Inferno (Dark Elves)
Stage 10: Fortress (Northern Clans)
In the top five, Inferno and Dwarves are intermediate races, but should Dark Elves be in the melee circle, and the Fortress in the magic circle? Maybe the other way around? Especially since patch 3.1 should be released soon, and people will have time to get used to it. You can confidently play as Orcs in stage 5; a fast start is guaranteed.

Regarding the castles, I am 100% in agreement with Mr. Alex_R.

In the fifth game, Inferno and Dwarves are intermediate races, but why put Elves in the melee circle and Orcs in the magic circle? Maybe the other way around? Especially since patch 3.1 should be released soon, and people will have time to get used to it. You can confidently play as Orcs in the 5th stage; a fast start is guaranteed.
It's good that you remember that the first circle (1-5) was originally intended for melee, and the second circle (6-10) for magic, but as we can see, it wasn't followed 100%, so I took the liberty of placing Orcs and Dwarves (as, in my opinion, more combat-oriented races than magical ones) in the 10th stage so that people simply have time to learn how to play as them.
2. Only Light Elves remain as clearly magical races (we've already used Necromancers and Mages).
Light Elves and Haven are still closer to "melee," and Inferno is somehow closer to chaos magic ;) ... I'll adjust it now!

I was thinking about a map for stage 4, where Death would be a good fit. But if the majority wants a nature-themed map, I can look for something else.

You don't need to bother – I just completely forgot about "Necropolis"... (I'm new to Heroes 4 :))... it's suitable for either stage 4 or stage 9, as we haven't played with it yet... so, as I wrote, "the final decision is up to the organizer or the person responsible for the map."
Everything is for the benefit of the tournament participants and to reduce problems in its organization!

What's wrong with that? ;) It's fine :) Everyone will be in the same conditions anyway :) And people rarely start with knights, so I'm all for it :)

I support Death for the 4th stage.

Stage 4 – Death – is a great idea. As for stages 5 and 10, I really want to play as Orcs; there haven’t been any tournaments featuring them. And in the Circle of Magic, you can place a Town Enhancement.

Okay, there will be Knights!!!
But don't complain later:D

I came up with a map, but I won't tell you about it yet:p

A member of our clan, Undegrounder, has made a suggestion that I think is quite relevant and interesting.
I'll share it here...
"To organize a collective character to participate in the Kanighem tournament - recording the best result of a clan member on its account. Of course, this makes sense only if all clans agree to such a system, as a kind of inter-clan competition - one result from each clan in each (or any) stage."

"The character" can be either impersonal or personified... That is, you can come up with its own story, maybe even an image... I ask everyone to express their opinion ;)
